PD DAY CAMPS
PD day camps are a great opportunity for children to visit the OHS, learn about animal welfare and have fun while interacting with animals. Each camp offers a unique opportunity to learn and explore a variety of animal welfare topics.
OHS PD day camps aim to develop your child’s knowledge of animal welfare through a variety of interactive and educational activities, which may include:
- Humane education presentations
- Guided tour of the Shirley Kearns Memorial Adoption Centre
- Cat Gallery viewings
- OHS-themed games
- Small animal circles
- Meet-and-Greet time with a volunteer dog
- Guest speakers
- Animal enrichment crafts
All of our activities are geared towards teaching campers about animal care, handling and welfare. We try to have at least three 20-minute animal interactions every day, but that can sometimes vary depending on animal availability and behaviour. Our top priority is the well-being and safety of both the campers and our animals. We provide a fun, inclusive and safe learning environment for our campers, and one that is free of undue stress on the animals.
